Sharing Private data is forbidden (no IP dumping).

Spam is strictly forbidden and will result in a ban. (Spam as in links that violate the spam guidelines found here)

Off-topic posts will be treated as spam.

Depends on how long it takes. If you're reverse engineering for a hobby or a pastime, then that statement is fine. If you're reverse engineering to serve a purpose, you have to consider if there's a net positive for the time/resources it costs to do so. There may also be no success, so you have to weigh risk to not end up with anything useful.
